The residential part of the palace was arranged along a long hallway that bisected the floor. The rooms of the Beaumonts, de Blondevilles, and Roger de Bigod's people were all closed at this late hour, but surely there must be some sign of the boy's passing? Some clue as to which of the many apartments to search?

"The kitchen staff said the boy was carrying a sack of pies?" Giles asked out loud. "Why would he not have just had the servants prepare it, why be so secretive? I imagine he'll be in for a switching from his father after all this."

Grabbing a maidservant and giving her a harsh look has her quickly confirming that she saw a little red-head carrying a sack slipping into the Royal Apartments. She thought he might have been a cousin of the line, but if you're saying he's a Faulconbridge, then she apologizes, but he's very much not where he's supposed to be.

Giles looks to the other investigators and runs his fingers through his hair in indecision.

"The Royal Apartments aren't exactly the kind of place one just visits on a whim at this hour of night. Hopefully the guards in that section sent him on his way."
